FRED BLISS, OF HAMMOND, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO GOT'ILE BLISS,

OF HAMMOND, INDIANA.

DOUBLE PAN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED BLrss, a citizen of the United States, residingat I-Iammond, in the county of Lake and State of Indiana, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Double Fans; and I do declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in ans.

The object of the invention is to provide a pan having a plurality ofcompartments, thereby greatly facilitating the use of the same.

With this object in view, the invention consists of certain novelfeatures of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as willbe more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appendedclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a panconstructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional view of the same; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modifiedform of pan; and Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Referring particularly to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, 1 denotes theouter pan, which is here shown as substantially circular in form, havingtapering sides, 2. Arranged in the outer pan 1 is an inner pan, 3, whichis also circular in form, and preferably has vertical sides. The innerpan 3 is somewhat smaller than the outer pan 1, and is arranged in saidouter pan to one side of the center thereof, so that one side of the pan3 inter sects and projects through the side of the outer pan as shown at4;. This arrangement of the inner pan enables the center of the same tobe more readily reached. If de sired, the outer pan 1 may be providedwith suitable handles, 5. A

In the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawing, the inner pan3 is arranged in the center of the outer pan 1, thus providingSpecification of Letters Patent. Application filed May 20; 1907. SerialNo. 374:,62.

Patented Dec. 24, 1907.

for a continuous annular space between the sides of the inner and outerpan. With the exception of the central arrangement of the inner pan, 3,the form of device shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is the same as that describedin connection with the first two figures of the drawing.

By providing a pan constructed as herein shown and described, theoperation of dishwashing is greatly facilitated, and when using the panfor this purpose the soiled dishes are washed in the inner pan and areplaced in the compartment between the two pans where they are allowed todrain, thereby dispensing with the necessity of providing a separatedrain pan. The arrangement of the pans as herein shown and describedwill also be found useful for any other purpose, such, for instance, ascleaning or peeling of vegetables, wherein the unpeeled vegetables andthe parings are placed in the outer compartment, while the paredvegetables may be placed in the inner pan.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing, the construction and operation of the inventionmay be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined in theappended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Le tters-Patent, is:

An outer pan and an inner pan arranged within said outer pan to projectthrough one side of the same, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

FRED BLISS. Witnesses:
